Amendments can't dress immigration bill

As the saying goes, putting lipstick on a pig still leaves you with a pig in the end. This is what almost half of the senators in this country are trying to do to the current immigration bill.

They are adding numerous amendments to the bill to make it look pretty when the problem is that the basic premise of the bill is too ugly to talk about. Almost 70 percent of all Americans are opposed to this fiasco, yet the Senators continue down this disastrous path.

I urge all to contact their senators to voice their opinions on this matter. Sen. Specter at (202) 224-4254 and Sen. Casey at (202) 224-6324. There is a saying that 100 noisy people carry more weight than 1,000 silent ones.
